I want to take the kids at opening time on Friday. What time should I get there? How long have the lines been?
I work the other days so Friday is the only option. Kids are 9, 7, 1. |

| Friday was INSANE last week. Get there as soon as it opens. By around 11 am the line wrapped around the entire atrium. |

| Nanny took my kids today. They told me it was almost a 2 hour wait. They said it was awesome and totally worth waiting in line to see. My kids are 6 and 8. |

| My 9yr old HATED it. Said it was for babies. For him it was a huge waste of time. |

| 2 hour wait for a ball pit!! Would be better to drive two hours and get closer to a real beach. |

Remember there was a lot of press last week, including NPR story. So super crowded. Wait a little.

| We went at 10:00 this morning and left by 11:30. Agree that it was packed and long lines by the time we left. My 2 year old loved it- but I won't go again. |

I'm taking my kids the week before Labor Day. It'll be empty.

| We went last Monday and there was no line to get in. It was fairly crowded but I had no problem getting a beach chair while DH took the kids in. |

| What makes this exhibit so awesome and different from a ball pit? |

It's deep so that adults can go in, there are areas to sit and relax and it's clean. |
